Seriously, though, I think Andrej sometimes quotes *nothing* (no offense

LOL. I was honestly wondering if this was an issue or not. I blame the
gmail quick-reply box. It has two options: quote everything, or quote
nothing. Otherwise there's a full reply button and then I can quickly
select a piece of text to quote. But I *thought* that by using quick
reply without fully quoting it would mean my reply would sit right
next to the last poster's reply.
I think it does, actually. It's just the post you are responding to isn't
always the last poster :D
I'm just used to using forum software and when I do a quick-reply
there my post is right below the last user's post, and it's easy to
figure out who I'm replying to.
The forum software does not by default thread discussions, but my
newsreader does.
Anyway, I'll stop posting replies to the void. :p (thanks for letting
me know btw)
I hope you realize I didn't mean it in a bad/condescending way :) I
realize we all use software that sometimes doesn't do the right thing, and
it's not always our fault for liking some shitty software.
But whose fault is it? Yours for using a forum-like software, or mine for
trying to thread the newsgroup? If a tree posts a reply in the wrong
thread, and the forest doesn't use threading readers, does anyone care?
